one time a girl told me she wanted a mazda 3 because mazdas have rotary engines.

Hey even though that's technically wrong on the Mazda 3 part, I still think its pretty cool she knows atleast the RX7/8 have Rotary motors. Maybe the salesman told her that line of crap. I was once looking at Mazda RX8's, and the salesman asked what else I was interested in. I told him I was fond of the 350z and he said "Well you are in luck! Mazda collaborated with Nissan and the RX8 has the Z's chassis!"
